Tottenham manager Conte deflects question over Lo Celso future

Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte was not keen on speaking about Giovanni Lo Celso on Sunday.

The Argentine has been linked with an exit from Spurs this month.

He was omitted from the match-day squad for Sunday's loss to Chelsea.

Asked if Lo Celso's omission from the squad suggested his future lies elsewhere, Conte replied: "But I selected the players for this game and for this question is one for the club to answer."

Lo Celso made it known before the game that he was not injured.

Posting on Instagram, he wrote: "Regarding the questions I received, I would like to clear out that I am 100 per cent in good physical condition.

"I have no problem and I feel very well. I wish the best to my team in the derby today."
